Chapter 129: 【Battle for the Central Station】 Fang Ming: Building fighting is too hard, let's fight street fighting (6.2k Combined Ch
Due to the high intensity of the battlefield, in just one afternoon.
The number of player posts on the Polar Star forum grew at a rocket-like speed, all stunned by the intensity of the 【Battle of Stalingrad】.
These players also discovered that it wasn't that they were too bad.
But that the Imperial and Soviet soldiers originally on 'Earth' were no different from them, basically just filling in lives, and didn't live much longer than them by a few seconds.
At the same time, there were many videos circulating on the Internet, constantly updating.
Some players even restarted 11 times in just three hours, making a compilation of death replays. None of them were deliberately looking for death, and some even tried their best to save their lives, but they couldn't live at all.
This intensity of fighting, although mixed in the players' mouths.
But the military of major federations paid attention to this point and began to send troops to try to fight with the soldiers on 'Earth', but because of the intensity, none of them livestreamed.
After all, just watching the video, you know how difficult this battle is.
If they livestream and get wiped out, the whole federation will lose face. Better to practice first before deciding whether to livestream.
And the Polar Star company side.
Zhao Ming had been paying attention to the backend data.
Except for a slight fluctuation in the first hour, the number of online players in the 【Battle of Stalingrad】 battlefield stabilized afterward.
Death could not stop the enthusiasm of the Blue Star players, but instead made them more serious.
Because the 【Battle of Stalingrad】 was fought for a long time, Zhao Ming made different key areas according to the months.
Currently, it is July in the game.
Players who did not choose to challenge for the 【Stalingrad Medal】 would mostly be assigned to frontline troops, assigned from a global perspective to various places to compete for positions with Imperial soldiers.
Although many players complained, and some even died 11 times in three hours.
But they didn't know... the hell difficulty in the mouths of Blue Star players was only the primary stage.
The cruelty of the subsequent battlefield was gradually escalating.
So Zhao Ming paid attention to the data for an afternoon, and only after seeing that the Blue Star players had adapted, did he feel relieved, otherwise he would have to lower the difficulty a bit.
The key area in July is full-scale fighting.
And some players will be assigned to the 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory', also known as the Stalingrad Tractor Factory.
As the largest tractor factory in the Soviet Federation, it was urgently converted to military industry after the war started, producing T-34 tanks under the frantic bombing of the Empire.
When time was tight, the newly assembled T-34 tanks were driven to the battlefield directly from the factory without paint, and then quickly perished or were scrapped with Imperial armor. Not only was the survival time of the soldiers less than 24 hours.
Even these newly assembled tanks, many had a lifespan of less than 24 hours.
But even in such a situation, this largest tractor factory in the Soviet Union held on for several months, creating a record of producing over two hundred tanks in a single month while the factory was 60% bombed and destroyed.
Here, let the Blue Star players experience the will of the Soviet people.
Use these to attract players and feel the novel experience.
Then, starting from August, slowly spread out the big pits that were dug.
August is mainly to put players into the South Railway Station to experience the initial station battle.
The intensity at this time is only slightly stronger than the full-scale war.
And September is the 'Mamayev Kurgan' battle opened according to the change of the whole situation. On this small hill with an altitude of 102 meters and an area of less than 2 square kilometers, more than 100,000 people died.
Daily casualties exceeded 2,000, and a division was wiped out in three days.
Players will restart to the team or the supporting team after death.
October is the full version of the station battle.
Changing hands multiple times in one day, the extreme tug-of-war of human flesh.
November's Pavlov's House defense battle...
When the entire 【Battle of Stalingrad】 is over, calculating the number of deaths of players, perhaps they will know how many lives it takes to shout 'war' 'war'.
Observed for an afternoon.
After seeing the backend data in the game stabilize, Zhao Ming pressed the button on the desktop.
In the open space of the office in front, virtual Earth projections began to appear.
Various battles on 'Earth' in 1942 in the game had already been completed by Zhao Ming, and the 【Battle of Kursk】, the largest tank battle in Earth's history in 1943, had also been completed.
According to the current time flow in the game, it will take at least two months in reality to reach that timeline, so there is no rush to do the 【WWII Series】 for now.
Zhao Ming looked at the virtual Earths one by one.
He raised his hand and pointed to the front left, opening the 【Huaxia Series】 Earth.
Similarly, according to different dynasties, several virtual Earth projections were divided and appeared in front of Zhao Ming. He scanned the dynasties one by one, and finally locked onto the 【Three Kingdoms Earth】 projection.
Preparing to look at the data for the next 【Huaxia History Series】 update.
Zhao Ming's gaze scanned the territory of 【Three Kingdoms Earth】, finally clicked on a certain place, called up the character list of this force, and then began to edit.
Pit... still digging.

On the other side.
The Daxia Federation had just turned dark, while the Antarctic Star Federation was almost dawn.
Because of the promotion of the Federation, 《World War II: Rise of the Empire》 had gradually become popular in the Antarctic Star Federation in the past month, but it was still a bit worse than the local games of the Antarctic Star Federation.
Because of its heavy industry, the Antarctic Star Federation, whether it is the army or games.
Pays more attention to armor, the military is famous for its armored troops, and the civilian games also have a lot of armor, mechs are relatively popular. 《World War II: Rise of the Empire》 can also be related to armor more or less, although the tanks and other armor in the game are very backward, this primitive wildness also attracted many players.
At this time.
Inside the Source Star livestream platform, the largest livestream platform in the Antarctic Star Federation.
It was the second half of the night, almost dawn, but the livestream room of a father and son was still hot, and teasing words kept drifting on the comments.
Inside the livestream.
Young Federation university graduate Theodore was struggling to keep his eyelids open, thanking the gifts in the livestream room:
"Thanks to 'Count' for the asteroid, um... which one is it?"
"Let me see... this is already the 5th tank made by Dad leading the team in the game today."
"Oh, damn."
"Do you know what the struggle of a retired old man is?"
"It's just too crazy."
The livestream room was full of teasing voices. Many friends in the Antarctic Star Federation were watching Theodore's father, Charlie, leading Soviet workers to manufacture tanks from Theodore's perspective.
The hot atmosphere made people unable to stop watching, just like watching various mechanical parts being hand-crafted on the Federation Sound-Seeking platform.
And the difference is that this is mechanical plus hand-crafted T-34, which looks more interesting.
The only one being tortured was perhaps Theodore, who didn't listen to his father's advice to study mechanics because he wasn't interested in mechanics, and even hated mechanics when he was a child. As a result, now for the heat...
Could only livestream with tears, people were exhausted.
He was originally a new streamer, coming to livestream because 《World War II: Rise of the Empire》 was very hot.
After opening a few battlefields.
He was randomly assigned to this place called 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory'.
He already hated mechanics, and as a result, looking at the various tasks of manufacturing parts, his head grew big. He simply pulled his father Charlie, a retired senior armored maintenance technician, into the game.
Wanted to let his father give some pointers, and by the way, ease the somewhat stiff father-son relationship.
As a result, this pointer was not a small matter.
His father Charlie, after entering the game, was immediately attracted by the hot atmosphere of the 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory', missed his youth, forgot to give him pointers, and directly joined the Soviet worker army.
It just so happens that consuming physical strength in the game actually has no effect on reality.
And you can adjust the perception degree. This made his father Charlie, who adjusted part of the fatigue perception low, fall into a workaholic mode, and relying on his technical knowledge reserve as a "senior armored maintenance technician" on Blue Star, he overcame several problems.
Making the 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory' in this instance produce tanks much faster than other instances. Watching his father fall into a workaholic mode, Theodore was numb.
It was because his father was a workaholic when he was young that their relationship was average.
Thinking of taking the opportunity to give pointers to ease it.
As a result, his father fell into workaholic mode again, which made Theodore angry and helpless, so he could only complain on the Internet. As a result, it became popular overnight. His father had been working for almost 6 hours.
Many friends in the livestream room watched for 6 hours.
Theodore didn't understand what was so good about this clanging sound and the sound of mechanical operation, but the heat was really high.
For the sake of money, let's livestream.
Theodore rubbed his face, got up to get a glass of ice water, drank it, and let out a long sigh of relief:
"No, I have to buy some nutrient solution tomorrow."
"Can't hold on like this."
God knows how a retired old man can stay up so late, it's been 6 hours, he would have slept at this time if he stayed up late. Returning to the game again.
Theodore witnessed the birth of a tank under the leadership of his father again, gifts flooded the livestream room, Theodore smiled:
"Thanks to 'Leon' for the little meteorite, thanks..."
Just as he was thanking with a wide smile, his father Charlie's voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Theodore! Theodore!"
The voice was very loud, and the people around looked strange. Theodore ran over quickly and whispered:
"My identity in the game is Artyo..."
Father Charlie waved his hand:
"That doesn't matter."
"Quick, drive this tank away, don't take up space."
Theodore's face was stunned:
"Why should I drive it?"
"What about those soldiers?"
Father Charlie scanned the surroundings:
"It's because I can't find them, that's why I'm asking you to drive it away, don't delay the production of the next tank."
Theodore's mouth twitched, and the livestream room was also making a fuss, and finally could only say helplessly:
"Fine, where to drive it?"
Father Charlie said:
"Anywhere, go wherever others go."
"Quick quick quick!"
Saying that, he turned and left, joining the manufacturing of a new tank. Theodore looked at the T-34 tank in front of him that didn't even have paint, and it still exuded the fishy sweetness of welding. He could only drill into the tank. There was a system prompt, even if one person could drive it.
Theodore, under the guidance of the system prompt, successfully drove this newly released T-34 out. Although very slow, it drove out of the factory area steadily. Because he was not very familiar with the game, he could only ask the friends in the livestream room:
"Uh... drove it out, but where to go next?"
Soon.
Theodore, under the guidance of many friends in the livestream room, bumped around in the city of Stalingrad.
"Damn, where is this?"
"Is that the train station ahead?"
"So much gunfire, I don't have a loader and a gunner."
"No, I have to go back."
In the sky, the buzzing of bombers passed by, and a series of small black dots fell down. At this time, Theodore in the tank didn't know at all, and was preparing to turn back, and call half a person over:
"One person can't fight, and I don't seem to have brought shells."
"Must..."
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The screen went black.
This T-34 tank, which had been out of the factory for less than half an hour, was scrapped just like that.
In the distance.
On the ruins of a high-rise building near the Central Railway Station.
Mo Xiaomo lay on the ruins, watching the brand-new tank turn into a fireball, a bit dumbfounded:
"Ah this..."
After holding back for a long time, only one sentence came out:
"Feels a bit wasteful."
The brand-new tank didn't even have paint, and it was gone just like that.
Mo Xiaomo shook her head:
"What a pity."
Comments flooded out in the livestream room:
【Indeed, this tank died too tragically.】
【Brand new degree 100%, scrap degree 100%】
【A bit strange, why didn't this tank follow the main force, and was wandering around here.】
【Don't know, got lost?】
【Should be a newly released tank. Because there are not enough soldiers, those workers will drive them out directly to the battlefield.】
【Ah? Is that so... Pity.】
Discussing in the livestream room, not knowing at all that it was a streamer on the other side of the Blue Star.
Mo Xiaomo was at the highest point of a building ruin, covered with a gray curtain she pulled over casually. Stalingrad in July had begun to change, plus continuous bombing.
The air was filled with the smell of scorched earth and gunpowder smoke.
The map yesterday was not wrong, she was indeed near the 【Central Railway Station】.
After looking at the map and the explanations of the friends in the livestream room at night.
Mo Xiaomo also understood that this is the transportation hub connecting Stalingrad, which is divided into two by the Volga River. As a survival place connecting the two places, no wonder the fighting yesterday was so tragic.
And today is the same.
Mo Xiaomo, who walked out of the building, knew how tragic it was here.
Stuka bombers kept coming.
Bombing the station, Mo Xiaomo had no choice but to cover herself with a gray curtain, lie on the ruins, and use the rifle in her hand to quietly shoot cold shots when the fighting was fierce.
Bang!
A shot fired.
In the street where the battle was fierce in the distance, an Imperial soldier's neck bled and he fell to the ground instantly.
Mo Xiaomo chuckled:
"Hit again! That's the 3rd one, and they still haven't found me."
Although it was the 18th bullet, and only the 3rd one hit.
"You tell me, is it powerful?"
"With this gray curtain of mine, I am absolutely a battlefield killer..."
The word 'killer' hadn't been spat out yet.
Mo Xiaomo was suddenly strangled by the neck. A rope of unknown material plus huge force made Mo Xiaomo widen her eyes, and she could only make a little sound:
"Gua... ne..."
Click!
The crisp sound of bone cracking.
The screen went dark instantly.
Inside the livestream room, Mo Xiaomo stayed where she was, not having recovered yet:
"I'm gone?"
Obviously... yes.
Mo Xiaomo grabbed her hair in anger:
"Ah ah ah ah, didn't even see what they looked like."
"No."
"Restart a game, that guy shouldn't have run far, I'll see if I can randomly open it back."
"Pissed me off!!!"
Mo Xiaomo sought to click 【Battle of Stalingrad】 to choose to start again.
However...
The scene that came into view was a bit stunned.
The heat wave wrapped in diesel and gunpowder smelled, sweeping through the entire steel factory area.
In the distance, the giant chimney was emitting thick black smoke, and there were huge steel brackets everywhere, as well as the endless roar, which was the roar of the war machine in the industrial war era, running at full capacity.
Looking up, only a feeling of insignificance filled the whole body.
Workers covered in oil were moving parts and assembling components, and various communication and discussion sounds came.
The factory broadcast was playing non-stop, and a hoarse and firm voice rang out:
"The enemy has entered the Stalingrad city area, but we must not retreat."
"The Empire's ambition will not succeed..."
In this environment, she was instantly brought into resonance.
Mo Xiaomo felt a bit numb all over:
"This..."
Looking up at the steel factory from Mo Xiaomo's perspective, it brought shock to the friends in the livestream room. It's not that no one livestreamed this 'Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory', but Mo Xiaomo's angle was too good.
Panoramic view, atmosphere, plus noisy communication and broadcasting.
Made people a bit trance-like, immersed.
Suddenly.
Someone pushed Mo Xiaomo from behind, and a female worker's voice rang out:
"What are you still doing?"
"Hurry up and work."
Mo Xiaomo turned to look.
And that young female worker had already pushed a cart of parts and rushed into the workshop.
Looking down at the parts at her feet, and the prompt, Mo Xiaomo finally reacted, and carried a pile of steel pipes into the giant workshop in a daze.
Just entered the workshop.
A hotter heat wave swept over, Mo Xiaomo put down the steel pipes according to the prompt.
A roar full of energy rang in her ears:
"Theodore! Theodore!!!"
Mo Xiaomo looked, it was a bearded uncle.
The young worker next to him ran over:
"Dad, my name is Alyo..."
Before he finished, he was interrupted by the bearded uncle:
"Enough, that doesn't matter, hurry up and drive this tank away!"
"Don't take up space!"
The young worker was a bit collapsed:
"Don't, I just died once."
"Not every time can I randomly come back."
Bang!
The bearded uncle kicked him:
"If you can drag it for a few more minutes, you won't have sacrificed in vain."
"Don't let those Imperial bastards break in!"
The young worker's expression was lifeless:
"No?"
"How come you are getting more and more immersed in playing, Dad..."
Bang!
Another kick.
"Hurry up and drive the tank away!"
"Don't delay production!"
The young worker roared to the sky helplessly, then nimbly climbed into the tank and started it.
Mo Xiaomo watched from the side with wide eyes.
Is this father and son playing games together?
The friends in the livestream room were also silent for a while, then the screen was full of 6s.
【Good guy, this old man's tone is exactly the same as the Soviet uncle.】
【True 'immersive' game, you guys are far behind.】
【Laugh to death, look at that guy who is about to collapse.】
【Wait... what is he doing?】
【Hiss—, the way this tank is driving crookedly...】
【Damn? So that tank just now was messed up by this guy?】
Mo Xiaomo also felt it was interesting, and asked the assistant in the livestream room to cut the scene of the tank being blown up just now and this segment, and send it out.
Of course.
Must cut out the part where she was strangled.
That was too embarrassing.
Then Mo Xiaomo looked at this huge mechanical project, the sound of operation was roaring, everyone was high-spirited, and even she was brought into it.
Being a worker is not bad.
Joined the team of manufacturing tanks in full swing, carried a pile of parts and moved quickly, watching the worker uncles assemble,
for a time, many friends were attracted to assemble tanks.
On the other side.
Near the Central Railway Station, Yu Feng, who was hiding in the building, watched the Imperial soldier on the ruins outside pick up a gray curtain and prepare to put it on.
Bang!
A shot fired.
As a top sniper, Yu Feng naturally wouldn't miss.
Even with a rifle, it was a one-shot kill.
Watching the corpse of the Imperial soldier fall, Yu Feng shook his head, that Soviet soldier lying on the ruins,
he had seen it before, just didn't expect that he didn't look for a while, and he was strangled.
"Pity, that guy should be a new soldier."
Yu Feng said, and the friends in the livestream room were happy.
【Gray curtain? Corpse? Isn't that Mo Xiaomo?】
【Randomly in the same game?】
【Recorded, recorded, dare to call the first sister of Tian Sha game section a new soldier, you are done, Little Feng.】
【Hahahaha, going to Mo Xiaomo's livestream room to report.】
Yu Feng looked at the comments and his mouth twitched:
"What the hell?"
"That's Little Mo?"
"And what new soldier, I just said new soldier, okay?!"
"You guys don't add drama!"
He had discovered it long ago, just scanned it for half an eye, and the friends in the livestream room didn't pay attention, until just now that gray curtain was recognized by the friends, and Yu Feng also knew that it was Mo Xiaomo...
But her technique... it is indeed a new soldier!
Of course, Yu Feng couldn't say it in the livestream room, coughed twice, and said with a straight face:
"I am upright and not afraid of shadows, you black fans!"
"Hum hum—"
At this time, Fang Ming sent a message from the room:
"No, being trapped in the building like this is not a way."
"Those challenging for the 【Medal】 will all restart in the building."
"But in this situation, where can I complete the 【Stalingrad Medal】 challenge?"
"Wait for night to kill out, fight street fighting."
"I see the Central Railway Station nearby is quite fierce, and there are Soviet troops, going out with the cover of those troops, coordinating to fight street fighting, should be a little better."
Yu Feng glanced at the Central Railway Station outside, it would be dark in an hour. ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
